BE FRUITFUL 2

Text: Genesis 9:1.

And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

Fruits are not only pleasant to the eyes, they are nutritional to the body. In the same way, any life that is bearing fruit will not only be pleasant to the people around him, he or she will bring health to those who eat thereof.

Once your life starts producing the God-kind of fruit, don't expect that every one around you will sing your praise, rather your fruit will attract all kinds of people towards you and this comes with its challenges.

There is a very big Mango tree next to my building. It's in an unfenced piece of land. This tree produces a lot of fruit. You can't walk past it without noticing how very fruitful this tree is.

This tree attracted lots of people to itself because of its very many fruit. Some people come so very early in the morning (while we are still sleeping) to pluck mangoes from this tree. All through the day, this tree hardly get any rest. Yet at night, some individuals are still plucking mangoes. God used this tree to teach us a lot of lessons.

1) Your life will always attract people to you once you start bearing fruit. This will encroach on your privacy, time,  resources and personal space.

2.) You will hardly have a closing time. People who need your fruit of love, Godly counsel, prayers, skills and stuffs like that will demand it from you even at awkward times.

3.) One striking thing about the people that went seeking Mango from this tree is, they hardly pluck the fruit gently, rather, they threw all sort of things at the tree and not once will the tree complain.

Because of the fruit of Peace, gentleness, meekness, patience and the likes that your life is bearing, people will throw all sort of things at you.

Just like the mango tree, you should never complain. Know that hungry people, angry people, lonely people, poor people and the likes are part of those seeking to pluck fruit from your life. Instead of getting angry, you should let your life release Godly fruit to all around you.

 *BIBLE READING* 

Matthew 7:16-20.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God, I receive the grace to obey your words that my life may produce good fruit in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
